Detailed explanation-1: -There are no effective antiviral medicines at this time. There is no specific treatment for encephalitis. The main goal is to ease symptoms and keep the person’s breathing and circulation working well while the infection runs its course.
Detailed explanation-2: -The priority of the treatment is to ensure the alleviation of pain, as well as to mitigate the swelling in the brain, reduce the fever and prevent dehydration and other chemical imbalances by administration of intravenous fluids. As a whole, the treatment for arboviral encephalitis depends on the cause.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aedes mosquitoes are the most important arboviral vectors; the two main species, Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, allow the transmission of medically important viruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV), dengue virus (DENV), and yellow fever virus (YFV) [2].
Detailed explanation-4: -These infections usually occur during warm weather months, when mosquitoes and ticks are active. Examples include California encephalitis, Chikungunya, dengue, Eastern equine encephalitis, Powassan, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile, Yellow Fever, and Zika.
